This is the closest I'm likely to get to an official website - the place to announce & discuss all of my current & upcoming projects (comix, magazine articles & columns, fiction & metafiction, & music), & to share my thoughts on the arts, media, music, film, pop culture & politics. I'll publish for the first time online older writings from hard copy magazines & newspapers. I'll also post artwork, videos, or just blog away on whatever occupies my brain.

555 Films That Freak Me Out

Once more into the breach, I suppose. Below are 555 films, honed down from a list of my 750 all-time favourite films that I had intended to post. There are many changes from previous such lists, but after much brain-wracking, I suppose these films, as close to being in order as possible, indeed represent those movies I absolutely rate the highest in my personal pantheon. All are indelibly etched onto my brainpan - regardless of genre, length, or what some might deem "good taste".1.
2046 (Wong Kar-wai, 2004)2. Dawn of the Dead (George
Romero, 1978) 3.
X-Men (Bryan Singer, 2000)4.
Oldboy (Park chan-wook, 2003)5.
Natural Born Killers (Oliver Stone, 1994)6.
Superfly (Gordon Parks Jr., 1972)7. Django (Sergio
Corbucci, 1966)8.
Tristana (Luis Bunuel, 1970) 9. Orpheus (Jean Cocteau,
1950)10. Sweet Movie (Dusan
Makavejev, 1974)

Henry Covert and Philip Jose Farmer, FarmerCon 2, August 2007

Four years ago, I finally met my all-time favorite writer. This was fortunate, as Mr.Farmer passed away in February 2009. The Maker of Universes has left ours behind for a far more radiant one. I love you, Phil.
